Photoshop CS3 Trial Problems

I downloaded Photoshop CS3, although whenever I try to run the setup it says:
Adobe Photoshop cannot be installed because it conflicts with:
- Adobe Photoshop CS3
I tried searching around to see if I had photoshop laying around on my computer and I couldn't find anything..I searched in all my docouments, on my desktop and even my computer, and the adobe folder in c:/program files/adobe.
I'm not sure what it means, and I don't think I have photoshop on my computer anyways, can anyone help?

Try the Adobe clean-up script from their site.

Cant download the Photoshop CS3 trial?

Hi,
I cant download the Photoshop CS3 trial. When I press the button to download it looks like the page will start the download but then it just stops and there is no download. All the other downloads work ok.
Any direct links to the download?

Does
this help? If you still have trouble, there are some suggestions available
in this service note about how to address downloading difficulties. First suggestion is (if you are using IE) make sure your Temporary Internet Files cache space is big enough to hold the downloaded file. (I would certainly have problems if I used IE, since I have my TIF space set very low; however, I use Firefox, which doesn't apply its cache size limit to downloads, thank heavens!)

Photoshop CS3 Trial then Code problem

I downloaded the trial of Photoshop CS3 and it ran out. My college passed out Adobe Suite and I installed it. Now I can't run photoshop at all because it won't take my serial and won't be deleted so I can reinstall. I ran the suite disk and I can't uninstall Photoshop and it won't let me reinstall it.
Any help is much appreciated.

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Photoshop cs3 Trial is not Working!

Okay, I've downloaded the cs3 30 days trial. After installation, i launched it and it said 'problem with trial...a problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for photoshop cs3.' What does this actually mean? What should i do?

Hi Kirill,
Could you please check the Photoshop version? In Photoshop, please go to the Help menu and select About Photoshop... In the dialog, it will say "Version" followed by the version #. The Reflow PS Plug-in is activated in Version 14.1.
If you have a lower version, such as Version 14.0, please close Photoshop, and open the Adobe Creative Cloud application and click on the "Apps" tab. If you see an Update for Photoshop there, please install it. If not, please quit Creative Cloud (select the "gear" icon in the upper right of the Creative Cloud and and choose Quit Creative Cloud). Then restart Creative Cloud, and hopefully the Update for Photoshop will be available.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please respond here and we'll look for another resolution. Sorry it's not working for you right away!

Can't install Photoshop CS3 Trial on Windows

Hey, I downloaded the trial version of CS3 the other day, wanting to try it out and see what it's like, I got to the end of the installation and it says
"A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or reinstalling the software fixes this problem. Otherwise, click Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial number to begin using the product without trial."
I'd rather not buy the software just yet, just want to try it out. I know CS3 is a little out-dated but due to pc requirements, I'm not able to run CS4 on my laptop, also I'm used to using CS3 as I used to use it on an old computer but for some reason it won't work on my laptop.
I've tried reinstalling it, I've also tried to restart my laptop and the program and none of these got it to work.
Is there anything else that can be done?
Thanks.

Installed Photoshop CS3 trial, now previous Photoshop 7 won't work

I've downloaded and installed PS CS3 trial and given it a go but decided to stick with version 7 as it's still doing everything I need.
So when the trial period on CS3 has expired I've uninstalled it but now Photoshop 7 won't run. I get this message a few seconds after I click on the PS icon . ..
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred due to a program error. Photoshop will now exit"
I've reinstalled PS7 several times to no avail.
Since I installed the CS3 trial I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard - maybe this is the cause!
Any idea's how I can get PS7 working again?
Cheers
steve

Photoshop 7 will not run under Leopard...

Photoshop CS3 Installation Problems

A customer has purchased Photoshop CS3 & is having problems installing on Vista Business
If I logon to the Users PC as Administrator & install it there, what steps will I need to take to access it from the Users account
Thanks

Well, who told you it was for a Mac? If you bought it at a retail store, you should be able to take it back there and exchange it for a Mac copy. If you bought it used, you should demand a refund from whoever you bought it from.
Of course, that is all assuming it's actually a Windows copy, and there's not something else going on... What does it say on the CD? My Photoshop Elements CD is very clearly labeled "Macintosh."

Photoshop CS3 Cursor Problem

Hello,
I have been playing around with my College's copy of Photoshop CS3 and have stumbled across a bit of a problem. It seems that I have managed to lock my Photoshop file from all editing as I am unable to use any tool apart from the Hand Tool.
I haven't got a clue how to fit it.
Any Ideas
Thanks in Advance.
Josh

Thank you for that.
I will have a go at restarting my PC and various other combinations of open programs to see what works.
Thanks
Josh

Photoshop Cs3 saving problem

Good Day!
I've just installed Adobe photoshop Cs3 Extended and everytime i save my work, it crashes. The window is still there yet i can't click on anything even the menu bar. And the worst part of it is that it didn't save my work.
It also doesn't close so i have to restart my computer again.
I've already reinstalled Cs3 twice but it still crashes like that.
Please help me solve this problem, thank you.
-Monette de Jesus

Monette,
The Save dialog probably appears off-screen. Did you change monitor setup lately?
Can you Esc out of it?
Either reset the preferences (forum FAQ) or change the monitor settings to the highest possible pixel dimensions, bringing the dialog into view, then move the dialog to the top left of the screen, save something, and go back to the usual screen properties.

Photoshop CS3 activation problems

Does anyone know how to activate Photoshop CS3 on win8.1, everything i try fails, i have internet, the activate over the phone say it know longer supports activation and tells me to go to a website that is not available. HELP!

You may need to find Adobe's phone number on the web site, starting with clicking the red icon at the top of this page.
Chances are you'll need to run Photoshop CS3 As Administrator, at least to get started.
Photoshop CS3 can activate just fine on Windows 8.1. I have a copy installed and running.

10.5.3 Seems to have solved Photoshop CS3/Spaces problem

I've just backed up and installed the 10.5.3 update. The only remaining problem with PS CS3 and Leopard was using Spaces and finding out that the Palettes, Tool Bar and Options Bar would frequently not redraw, depending on how you used Spaces. Twenty minutes worth of testing and that issue seems to have been resolved. The update for my Mac Pro was 420mb and required one OKed and two automatic restarts. It's a bit of a process.
So far so good!

Hi Everyone!
I too have this bug on my Mac Pro at work and my iMac at home. I use Spaces religiously so this bug is extremely annoying.
I went ahead and reported this bug to Adobe. I suggest that everyone else do the same.
I haven't been able to fix the blinking cursor without restarting Photoshop but here are some ways to avoid it:
1. Switch spaces using CTRL + Arrow Keys / Number of Space instead viewing all of the spaces in a grid.
2. If you are like me and prefer the grid you can avoid the blinking cursor by making sure the Type tool or Marquee tool is NOT selected in Photoshop before you switch Spaces. If you have another tool such as the Move tool selected when you switch Spaces you will not get the blinking cursor when you switch to the Type or Marquee tools after returning from another Space.
Let's hope Adobe gets this fixed ASAP.
Mike
